All commands are run as root.

apt install build-essential glances python3-pip

# use py3sensors because pysensors doesn't work on Python 3.x
pip3 install https://bitbucket.org/gleb_zhulik/py3sensors/get/0cf96f4e2cfe.zip

change -s (server) to -w (web) and add -1b for per-cpu mode, network rate in bytes per second

/etc/default/glances

# Default is to launch glances with '-s' option.
DAEMON_ARGS="-1bw"

# Change to 'true' to have glances running at startup
RUN="true"
